Endoexpedition - Use of a Serious Game to Deliver Patient Information and Decision Aid for Individuals With Endometriosis.
Sponsor: Karolinska Institutet
Summary
Endometriosis is a chronic disease that can negatively affect quality of life, daily functioning, fertility, and psychological well-being. Adequate patient education is important for informed decision-making and active participation in care, but traditional written information may not meet the needs of all patients. This national multicenter randomized controlled trial will evaluate whether a serious game can improve patient satisfaction when delivering information about endometriosis and its treatment options compared with standard written information. Adults with suspected or confirmed endometriosis will be randomized to receive either game-based educational material (Endoexpedition) or traditional written information. The study will assess patient satisfaction, knowledge acquisition, engagement, knowledge retention, and user interaction with the educational platform. A total of 250 participants will be included and followed for up to one year.
